Farmall only built the H & M with 5-speed transmissions, and the road gear, 5th could be locked out by installing a longer bolt/capscrew into the transmission top cover to prevent engaging 5th gear. The high/low transission was an aftermarket kit that replaced the constant mesh primary reduction gears in the front of the transmission. M&W Gear Co. and Heisler were those companies names. They both added four extra speeds faster than 4th gear (about 5 mph) but slower than 5th gear (15-16 mph) The straight 5-speed is fine for hobby pulling. Supposedly the M&W & Heisler Overdrives increased the strength of the constant mesh gears & the pilot bearings in the H & M's but that's debatable. Pulling very heavy loads in 4th gear puts the most amount of strain on the pilot bearing. Pulling in the lower gears should not cause a problem. There were also aftermarket faster gear sets offered to increase ground speeds in the four lower gears for the H's & M's.
